You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hi Houdini here! I am at the shelter just waiting for someone to come and get me. I have lots of good qualities. I love to play with toys, fetch with just a little practice, be scratched behind my ears, on my belly and just about any where you can think of. I'm kind of lonely stuck in my kennel most of the day so the sooner you decide to adopt me the better. In fact, I am available right now!

KGAC General InformationThe shelter is located at 11377 Citizens Way, King George, VA 22485. If you have an interest in this pet, please call the shelter at 540-775-2120; leave a message if they do not answer and call back during normal business hours. KGAC is a county shelter, and, although their euthanasia rates are kept low, they are still a kill shelter and all animals are considered urgent.

Our Adoption Process...

ALTHOUGH THESE ANIMALS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH THE KING GEORGE ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE, they are available through the King George Animal Control. Because of the spay/neuter laws, in order to adopt from our pound, you must live in King George or a surrounding county. If you would like to adopt an animal and do not live in our area, you would need to contact a rescue group and apply to adopt through their organization. Any animal that has already been spayed/neutered, may be adopted by anyone. NOTE: Special rules apply to the adoption of Pitbull and Pitbull-Mix dogs. Please contact King George Animal Control at 540-775-2120 for details. If you would like to help the animals at the King George Animal Control shelter, you may make a donation to KGARL through Paypal. You do not need to have a Paypal account to do so. Your money will help us get the animals the proper vaccinations and vet work that they desperately need, and also help with pull fees and transportation costs. King George Animal Control is located at 11377 Citizens Way, King George, VA 22485. This is a kill shelter and all animals need homes or rescues.
